Cassandra LeBlanc had been working on her case for six months, waiting, watching, and ready to pounce.  She is a dedicated Chicago police detective, one of their finest.  Derek Mansfield happens to be her target.  She must set him up and then knock him down in order to put him behind bars where he belongs - or so she thinks.  As she infiltrates the heir to the hotel empire's life, things change because she begins to feel and Derek begins to care.  Both have everything to lose and everything to gain.  Both have secrets that could get the other killed.  Both will have to put everything on the line for love.

Derek Mansfield is the prime suspect in an international crime cartel.  He just happens to be an honorable, loving, and loyal man who is set up to take the fall.  Cassandra is someone who never felt, never cared, and hasn’t needed anyone for a long time.  She just went through the motions of living and cracked crime.  Derek never got involved unless it was a one-night stand; love ‘em and leave ‘em was his motto.  That was until Cass came into his life.

SMOKE AND MIRRORS kept my interest from the start.  From the first to the last page, I turned and turned pages and was never bored.  Instead, I flipped each page with great anticipation for what was to come.  The love between Derek and Cass was so great and special - it made me smile.  Derek shattered the cold place in Cass' heart just as she gave him a reason to care.  Together, they found love and peace and along the way they foiled a villain.  Brand new author, Jenna Mills, has a bright future, I can tell, and I can't wait for her next book.
